Horizon view
Horizon from Glaisher W
12.5522° N, 47.6421° E · cell 29PEA
- Highest horizon point
- Glaisher W: 3.6° above the horizontal, 25.6 km away at azimuth 118°.
- Farthest visible point
- 63.5 km away at azimuth 86°, 0.7° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 714 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 73.5° high at azimuth 213°, 70.8° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 15:38:46 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
